I find I was a bit premature with my glowing report. I'm finding sites
that cause Iris to disappear part way through navigating them. It seems
to be getting worse. Or the thing freezes.

Should cookies and the cache be routinely cleansed?

My cache contains:-

ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.CacheStorage.salt
which contains a few chacters


ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.hsts-storage/sqlite
which says it's text but is just an endless series of  ³


ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.WebKitCache.Version
16.Blobs


ADFS::FAST.$.~~Temp.~~Trans.Bin.2025/04/01.Iris.cache.WebKitCache.Version
16.salt


Non of that do I understand.
